Scott Bradley's Absence
|
|
|
In a locked thread, Zavkram was asking about Scott Bradley's absence on one Tom and Jerry cartoon (released in 1953) when the score was done by Edward Plumb. Boxoffice magazine may have the answer. There's a little squib in the edition of Feb. 9, 1952. METRO SCOTT BRADLEY, composer and musical conductor for the studio's cartoon department, will portray John Philip Sousa in the Esther Williams starrer, "The One Piece Bathing Suit," being prepared by Arthur Hornblow, jr. and megged by Mervyn LeRoy. If Bradley was involved with an on camera film shoot, I can see where he'd take time off from composing and someone else would be brought in on a temporary basis.

"The One Piece Bathing Suit" (the biopic of Annette Kellerman, the Australian swimming champ, vaudeville performer and film star, whose radical costume caused a scandal in Boston in 1907) was released as "Million Dollar Mermaid" (although the working title was used for the UK release). No mention is made of Scott Bradley on IMDb, but I noticed Paul Frees (who did a lot of uncredited voice-work on MGM cartoons) appears as a bandleader.
